A tough day on the radio for Marco Rubio

After speaking with Rubio, Brown told POLITICO that the senator “convinced me of his sincerity about trying to do something.” But the talker said he personally remained unconvinced that the Gang of Eight’s bill is the answer to fixing the country’s illegal immigration problem.

“First and foremost, let’s secure the border. It’s a national security issue. Do that first,” he said. “And you know what? Then, say to the Democrats, you know, let’s do this first, it’s what the American people want, and then we’ll go into the rest of it.”

Like Brown, Talk Radio Network’s Humphries praised Rubio — “I like him personally, I think he’s a sharp guy,” the host said — but said the senator’s Thursday pitch wasn’t enough to earn his support for the legislation. And again, Humphries reiterated what his fellow conservative talkers said: Border security must be priority No. 1, and there can be no amnesty.

Amazing Republican you have there- even his hostile interviewers seem to have praise for his ability to keep his feet out of his mouth even if they disagree with what he’s saying. Quite rare these days.

He’s sharp like a fox and it’s good he quit hiding in lion clothing because they obvious don’t fit well on him. Here’s hoping this is his only senatorial term and a real conservative in the Ted Cruz mold rises to challenge him in Florida.

Ah, yes, the liberal mantra, used to justify every possible tax, power grab, loss of freedom, and imposition on the taxpayer since FDR. Never, ever judge them on the results of the actions taken with good intentions, no matter how bad. That would be mean.

Rubio had a bad day when he decided to buddy up and work with Chuck Schumer very possibly the most partisan hard left hack in the business of politics.

Rubio allowed himself to be put in a lose-lose situation where Schumer gets millions of new Democrat voters and/or severely damages Rubio’s standing with the Republican base voters. I thought Rubio was smarter than that. I guess it’s good to know how easily Rubio is fooled before he decides to runs for President.
